Cookie & Storage Policy
Last updated: June 2026
What we store — and why
Lite.Beer is a beer catalogue. We have no advertising, no tracking, and no analytics. We store only what is strictly needed to make the site work and to comply with legal requirements around alcohol content.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| laravel_session | Strictly necessary | Maintains your browsing session. Required for security (CSRF protection) and for the site to function correctly. | Session (120 min of inactivity) |
| age_verified (localStorage) |
Functional | Remembers that you confirmed you are of legal drinking age, so you are not asked again on your next visit. Only stored if you tick "Remember me" on the age gate. | Until you clear your browser data |
| cookie_notice_dismissed (localStorage) |
Functional | Records that you have dismissed the cookie notice, so it is not shown again. | Until you clear your browser data |
| age_verified (sessionStorage) |
Functional | Same as above, but only kept for the current browser tab. Used when "Remember me" is unchecked. | Until you close the tab |
No third-party cookies or tracking
We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, advertising networks, or any other third-party service that places cookies or tracks your behaviour across sites. The only external resource loaded is the Tailwind CSS / Vite bundle served directly from our own server.
Your rights under GDPR
Because we only store strictly necessary and functional data, we do not require your consent under Article 6(1)(b)/(f) of the GDPR. You may however:
- Clear the age-verification entry at any time by opening your browser's developer tools → Application → Storage and deleting the
age_verifiedkey. - Delete the session cookie by closing your browser or clearing cookies in browser settings.
- Contact us at [email protected] with any privacy-related questions.
Age verification
This site contains information about alcoholic beverages. We are required by law to verify that visitors are of legal drinking age in their country. The age gate is a self-declaration; we do not collect or store your date of birth or any personal data as part of this process.
Changes to this policy
If we ever introduce new storage or third-party services we will update this page and, where required by law, ask for your consent before setting any non-essential cookies.
